Couple that with only a small percentage of total transgressions detected.

What are your views on soft speed limiters scheduled for 2022? Some contributors maintain this proposal has been dropped but I can find no evidence of that.
Next phase is hard limiters like those already fitted to vans and trucks.

4.3.1 Safe speed
About one third of fatal crashes are (partly) caused by excessive or inappropriate speed. According to research, the risk to be involved in a crash when speeding is 12.8 times higher than for non-speeders And higher speed crashes cause far more damage than lower speed ones. Based on research results, the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has calculated that if mean speeds were to drop by only 1 km/h on all roads across the EU, more than 2200 road deaths could be prevented every year.

what they havent reailsed is that by setting speed limits artificaiily low they increase the number of speeders and hence move more of the accdents into the 'due to speeders' category..
Similarly if they raised speed limits theyd have less accidents in the 'due to speeders' ?
There are others that are more proment in the accident stats notably not looking properly or not paying attention for both drivers and pedestrians and where the road design could do with improving..

We do not accept deaths in the air, and we should no longer accept them on the road
It would be interesting to see the effect on air fatalities if they'd begun to introduce lower speed limits for planes rather than concentrating on other safety measures.Edited by saaby93 on Sunday 7th March 00:31

Back in 2007 my beloved car was stolen.
3 days later it 'pinged' the ANPR camera going into Toddington Services.
The thief paid for pretrol (who the hell fuels up at motorway prices???) and then as he entered the entry slip back onto the M1 he was met with a three car stop.
I got my beloved car back.
He went to prison.
I like ANPR.
Let's face it, if you got the car for free, paying motorway service prices isn't going to hurt!3 days later it 'pinged' the ANPR camera going into Toddington Services.

Cruising speeds have reduced.
If cruising speeds were reduced agin - how many lives woud that save?

Aircraft are not they same as vehicles when it comes down to speeds.
At each stage of a flight they have an optimum speed, and for the heavies this can change based on aircraft weight.
Generally aircraft are not required to fly slow / fast. For most of the time they are required to fly at and stay at their optimum cruising speed.
Going more slowly is usually reserved for flying through certain conditions, such as clear air turbulence, or when slowing to flap and gear limiting speeds prior to landing.
I am not sure if aircraft provide much in the way of useful comparisons with vehicles, when referring to speeds?

I think the point though is that these things are governed/driven by the desire to achieve results across a spectrum of objectives rather than just focusing on one & that will be true across all transport.At each stage of a flight they have an optimum speed, and for the heavies this can change based on aircraft weight.

These will include noise, reliability, maintenance, fuel use etc etc. We had faster cruising speeds by design & the emphasis on what is most important is not fixed, it's fluid & as a result the design objectives change.

How do you feel about letting the EU advisor know that?At each stage of a flight they have an optimum speed, and for the heavies this can change based on aircraft weight.

Or maybe it is ok and there's an optimum speed for vehicle travel too.

As for the optimum speed for vehicles that would be a hard one to define, but since the whole point of using motorized vehicles of any kind, is to move from one point on the Earths surface to another faster, more conveniently / comfortably, and safer than is permitted by other means, That would seem to be the basic speed requirement for any type of vehicle, other wise there would seem to be little point in having / using them.

How many drivers will push into a high load accelerator pedal whilst ignoring an insistent electronic chime? Not many and not for long because it's too uncomfortable. The 'problem' of speeding drivers is solved.

Soon new cars will be sat in front of you on the motorway at a constant 70mph (except for those driven by masochists who enjoy discomfort). Just like trucks do today at 56mph.You are also ignoring in your 'soon' all of the pre 2022 vehicles on the road that will stay on the road.

Some doing 70 & some doing less than 70 too.
To be honest I worry more about the times I'm sat still on motorways or in stop start traffic than when I'm able to do a constant 70.
